Cyrano -- Good point! I completely agree, steaming the corn is even better. It just so happened this evening that the steamer big enough for it was in use (and the photo I took was of boiled corn).

If you would like even "Better" than "Perfect" corn, STEAM and not BOIL the corn. Much better taste. Less time to bring to boil.

I actually prefer white corn to yellow corn, but they were out of the white corn today at the market.
